There are two kinds of radio: non-commercial radio (non-comm) and commercial radio. Non-commercial (non-comm) radio encompasses college radio, and community radio stations (including NPR stations) and commercial radio is everything else (stations with commercials). Non-commercial radio is the most likely starting place for an up and coming independent artist. College radio is very friendly to such artists, and community radio stations often are as well.
